Battletech
Missions
Introduction
Battletech
Missions is an experimental ongoing Battletech campaign.
Each player plays the role of a ‘Mech pilot working for a small Mercenary company.
Players will develop their pilots over the course of a series of Missions. Each mission is run by a
“Game Master” playing the opposing force against a group of 4-6 player ‘mechs
with a defined set of objectives.
Each
pilot in the group will receive rewards in the form of C-Bills and XP based on whether or not the mission is successful, whether their
‘mech survives, and so forth. C-Bills are used to upgrade ‘mechs, XP is used to
upgrade pilots. At the end
of the game each player will be given a certificate detailing his rewards, as
well as a list of new equipment that was salvaged during that mission, making
it available for purchase.
Battletech
Missions is designed to act like many other “Living” Campaigns. This means that
the group of players doesn’t need to be consistent from one run to another.
Players of different experience level can easily play
together, and games can be put together from whatever pool of players is
available. It is also designed so that record-keeping can be handled by the
players, so that they can arrive at a game and be ready to play even if they
have never met the GM running the game.

to encourage players to bring minis and buy stuff at game stores, we have
special venue rules here.

Comments? Concerns?
This is all
provided As-is right now. Feel free to use any of this
if you’d like to give it a try with your local group. If you find any of it
confusing, incorrect, or whatever, please let me know at: jamez@iwptech.com. I welcome comments.
Also, please check back regularly! I add new missions roughly once a month, and
some day I hope to have a player and GM tracking tool
here as well.
